UT football: Cornerback White to transfer

AUSTIN — A.J. White, a reserve junior cornerback who played in 17 games during his first two seasons at Texas, has decided to transfer from the program, the Longhorns announced Friday.

White, a former DeSoto standout, was buried on UT’s depth chart behind starters Carrington Byndom and Quandre Diggs and backups Josh Turner, Leroy Scott and Duke Thomas. In a statement released by the school, White said he “needed a change and a fresh start.”
